Design and simulation analysis of polarimetric interferometric synthetic aperture radar

Polarimetric SAR interferometry (POLINSAR) is a very promising technique by combining polarimetric technique and interferometric technique. It can be applied to the area of remote sensing and measurement of structure over forest terrain. At present, many POLINSAR systems were developed, and the first POLINSAR prototype in China is also developed by 38^th Research Institute of CETC. Lots of data are acquired by these systems, so POLINSAR techniques have been studied as hot research topics in the area of SAR remote sensing in recent years. In this paper, we introduce design of the POLINSAR prototype and demonstration of system parameters, and we also study coherence and elevation precision by computer simulation.
